Witchcraft and Welfare: Spiritual Capital and the Business of Magic in Modern Puerto Rico
Raquel Romberg
Presents a history and ethnography of Puerto Rican brujeria (witch-healing). This book explores how brujeria emerged from a blending of Catholicism, Afro-Latin religions, French Spiritism, and folk Protestantism and also looks at how it has adapted to changes in state policies and responded to global flows of ideas and commodities.
